Study program structure and content
The basis for simulations is a broad foundational knowledge in…
- Mathematics
- Engineering sciences
- Computer science
- Natural sciences
In the first semesters, the study program includes various courses from these subject areas. From the third semester onward, you will create an individual timetable with the support of your personal mentor, with your interests determining the combination of subjects.
Interdisciplinary principles and connections between subjects are taught in complementary courses. Interdisciplinary networking is deepened through practical assignments. The projects generally have a strong research focus due to the affiliation of the program with the "Stuttgart Center for Simulation Science" (SC SimTech).

Images from the study program
Get a glimpse of how the study program works.
In SimTech-specific courses, only students from your year group participate, with group sizes roughly comparable to a school class. This makes it possible to address individual questions.

You attend mathematics lectures with mathematics students, technical mechanics with civil engineering students, and computer science with computer science students – here, it may be the case that you sit in a lecture hall with several hundred students.
The majority of courses in the study program consist of lectures, which need to be prepared and reviewed. The first semesters provide basic information in the fields of analysis, technical mechanics, and (experimental) physics.
In most subjects, there are homework assignments that must be submitted by the next session. Most students meet in the shared workspaces at the university to work on the assignments and help each other.

In addition to the lectures, you participate in course-related exercises. In these sessions, the theoretical content of the lectures can be practiced in a practical way and under guidance. Students are encouraged to work in small groups to discuss the material and overcome difficulties together.
Students get their first taste of independent research during project work and the Bachelor’s thesis. Generally, the assignments are based on current research topics at SC SimTech. Here, students can directly apply the knowledge they have acquired in practice.
